Multi-Project Dashboard
Organize active projects and counters.
How Multi-Project Dashboard Works?
The Multi-Project Dashboard works by counting your Active Projects, the works in progress (WIPs), and holding the Active WIP number of the one you are working on now. Each Stitches Counter tool keeps its own saved count, so every project can use a separate tool page.
Count your WIPs
Tap the count pad or press Space once per active project.
Number each WIP
Give each project a number, such as 1 socks, 2 sweater, 3 blanket.
Set the active WIP
Press → to set Active WIP to the project in your hands.
Use one tool per WIP
Open a separate tool page for each project, such as the Round Counter for the socks and the Blanket Progress Counter for the blanket.
Multi-Project Dashboard Formula
The Multi-Project Dashboard formula is average progress = Σ project progress ÷ number of WIPs. Time per project equals your crafting hours divided by WIPs.
- Average progress
A = Σ Pᵢ ÷ WPᵢ is each project's progress and W is Active Projects.
- Hours per WIP
h = weekly hours ÷ Wh shows the time each project gets.
- Weeks to finish
Weeks = hours left ÷ hWeeks per project grows with each new WIP.
Worked example: Seven crafting hours a week across 3 WIPs gives each project about 2.3 hours a week.
Multi-Project Dashboard Conversion Table
The Multi-Project Dashboard conversion table shows how WIP count changes the hours each project gets.
| Active WIPs | 5 h / week | 7 h / week | 10 h / week | 14 h / week |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 10 | 14 |
| 2 | 2.5 | 3.5 | 5 | 7 |
| 3 | 1.7 | 2.3 | 3.3 | 4.7 |
| 4 | 1.2 | 1.8 | 2.5 | 3.5 |
| 5 | 1 | 1.4 | 2 | 2.8 |
| 6 | 0.8 | 1.2 | 1.7 | 2.3 |
| 8 | 0.6 | 0.9 | 1.2 | 1.8 |
A 40-hour sweater with 2.3 hours a week takes about 17 weeks.
What is Multi-Project Dashboard?
A Multi-Project Dashboard is a tool that keeps count of your active projects and which one you are working on. Many crafters keep a portable sock project, a big blanket and a sweater going at the same time.
Each Stitches Counter tool saves its own counts, so pairing each WIP with its own tool keeps every project's place. The dashboard counts the WIPs and the active one.
